One Night Only

11.29.2007

The huge ballroom of the Marriot Grand Marquis was alive with excitement on November 19 as guests, including Joan Rivers, Caroline Rhea, Jo Ann Worley, and Linda Dano, raved about the show they had just experienced. Performing to a selection of songs from Broadway classics, Rosie’s Broadway Kids shone brilliantly as they wowed the guests of the 2007 Rosie’s Gala. With Rosie at the podium, a raucous live auction that raised $110,000, and an incredible performance by Paul Simon, the night was a huge success.

RBKids liven up the stage as Paul Simon sings "Diamonds on the Soles of Her Shoes"

The finale was a once in a lifetime experience as the students sang and danced with Paul Simon to “Diamonds On The Soles of Her Shoes”. With a total of more than one million dollars raised, the proceeds from the benefit will go to continue funding RBKids programming for over 1,700 current Manhattan school children and our new state-of-the-art school, The Maravel Center.

Thank you to all who contributed in creating such a special night! Check back for a slideshow of the photos from the event!
